Senior Business Operations Generalist - Berkeley - Constellation Institute
Description
About ConstellationConstellation is an independent research center that brings together people throughout the AI safety ecosystem to accelerate ideas, research, and talent through better collaboration. Unlike a conference or summit, Constellation operates continuously, in the form of a physical workspace. This allows for relationships and conversations to develop over time, meaningfully fostering trust, collaboration, and shared insight. It also makes Constellation a natural field-building hub that helps by rapidly inspiring, orienting, and connecting people who are newer to the field.
Based in Berkeley, CA, our shared workspace hosts over 250 people per week across dozens of AI safety organizations in nonprofits, academia, industry, and government. Hundreds of other researchers spend time at Constellation for shorter visits each year. We believe this is the strongest and highest-output network of AI safety researchers in the world; dozens of participants in past Constellation programs have gone on to safety-focused roles at companies such as METR, Redwood Research, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, OpenAI, and the US and UK Safety Institutes.
For more information, see our research focus areas and selected publications from Constellation Fellows.
About this role
As a Senior Business Operations Generalist, you'll be part of the operational backbone ensuring we stay compliant, financially sound, and operationally excellent while enabling a growing team and ecosystem of people working on AI safety.

This role requires someone who can balance competing demands, proactively spot risks before they become problems, and is decisive when balancing compliance requirements with organizational and ecosystem needs.
You'll be the bridge between the business operations team and the rest of Constellation, synthesizing input from many stakeholders and translating it into action. You'll work in a community of intelligent and highly mission driven people operating at the technical frontier.
